Roses Vanille

Roses Vanille by Mancera is a fragrance that feels like stepping into a dream, soft, sweet, and utterly enchanting. From the very first spritz, the zesty burst of lemon sparkles like sunlight on freshly fallen snow, cutting through the sweetness to create something bright and effervescent. It’s a fleeting introduction, but it lingers just long enough to prepare you for the heart of the perfume where candied rose takes center stage. The rose is so beautiful, so delicately decadent, that it feels like a dessert for the senses. Imagine Turkish Delight dusted with powdered sugar, its sweetness perfectly balanced by the warmth and creaminess of vanilla and cedarwood. It’s heady yet gentle, airy yet bold and somehow manages to wrap you up in its charm without ever feeling overwhelming or cloying. The rose doesn’t scream for attention; it whispers, soft and coquette, like silk brushing against your skin. What makes Roses Vanille truly special to me is its dry down. The vanilla and musk settle into something sublime, soft and powdery, like the scent of spun sugar melting into warm skin. It feels intimate, almost like a second skin but with just enough projection to turn heads. It’s the kind of fragrance that makes people lean closer, drawn in by its warmth and sweetness. It just gets better with time and long lasting, which means a little goes a long way. It’s perfect for those who love fragrances with a touch of whimsy and romance, like candied roses blooming in a fairy tale garden. Some may find the rose a little synthetic, but to my nose it’s pure magic, especially with the lemon note brightening it and keeping it from ever feeling overwhelming. Roses Vanille is the epitome of sweet decadence. It’s a ballerina twirling in a cloud of powdered sugar, a great white swan gracefully gliding across a mirror still lake, its every movement a perfect blend of elegance and quiet power. A head turning blend of elegance and romantic playfulness. It’s coquette, soft, airy and utterly irresistible, perfect for layering or wearing on its own. Despite its unisex label, Roses Vanille leans undeniably feminine in my opinion but its versatility makes it perfect for layering. Layering creates a stunning contrast of sweetness and woody spice, blending feminine softness with masculine depth. I’ve paired it with Kayali Vanilla 28 to amplify the vanilla and musk and the result is nothing short of dreamy sophistication. This is a must have for any coquette or lover of romantic vanilla forward gourmands. If you’re someone who dreams in pastel hues and lives for moments of quiet, sophisticated sweetness, this is a fragrance you’ll want to wear over and over again! One of my favourite purchases of 2024 and in my top 10 this year.

I've had a signature fragrance for years now, and I never thought I would ever find another one that would take my breath away. When I first ordered this fragrance It was a blind buy because I liked the notes and I relied on my intuition. When I first sprayed it I thought, this is nice I can wear this but not sure if I'm in love. I kept trying it again and again and about 3-4 days later I finally got it. It became the most amazing scent that I've tried till this day, and this makes my previous signature fragrance smell like water. I'm in love! I want to bath in this fragrance day and night, sometimes I wake-up in the middle of the night just so I can spray it some more and peacefully go back to sleep. The notes seem a bit boring, but trust me, this fragrance is nothing but, it's truly a hidden masterpiece, I'm surprised that it doesn't have more reviews or it's not as popular as it should be, maybe it's a bit selfish but I hope it stays that way because I want it all for my self :) When you officially spray it on you get a good smell of expensive vanilla, ( not the cheap one they use in mass production perfumes ), then my nose picks up a bit of rosy musk and just a tiny tiny bit of agar wood ( thankfully not much because I personally think agar wood smells like hospital with the mixture of morgue ). Depending on the temperature outside, during the warm weather there is more vanilla, during the cold weather there is a lot of rose ( not the old lady rose, but think of Marie Antoinette in her young days rose ). This takes me to my next point, you can wear this fragrance all year round, a true GEM. Thank you Mancera! EDIT: Forgot to add, on Russian fragrantica Roses Vanille gets compared to Montale's Roses Musk, in the beginning of 3-5 minutes, the smell of Roses Musk resembles Roses Vanille very little, but after 5 minutes Roses Musk becomes quite simple with the smell of pure rose and if the weather is warm it smells very musky not in a good way, but Mancera's Roses Vanille has no such thing, vanilla dominates and it smell more complex than Roses Musk.

This is so so yummy! The jammy, rosey, vanilla perfume of my dreams. It's pretty linear- all I really get throughout the experience is a sweet, jammy, syrupy rose with a sweet vanilla base. The fragrance definitely becomes more vanillic in the dry down on skin. It reminds me of a sweet rose Turkish delight/loukhoum. Although I do not distinctly pick up on the lemon in the opening, there is a slight freshness which I can only attribute to that, which prevents the fragrance from going down the cloying route, as it is very sweet. The scent is also very versatile- I find I can wear it during most occasions. I also find it to be quite adaptable, in the sense that sometimes it leans very syrupy sweet, and other times not so much. Definitely signature scent worthy. The longevity is very good on skin, even better on clothes. Whenever I wear this I always get comments (or complaints?) from my family on how I've "filled up the room". So if you want a sillage star, this is one for you. I love this scent so much that I find myself layering it with almost everything, just so I can always smell it. I'm actually quite surprised I'm not sick of it! Overall would 100% recommend!

Roses Vanille feels like a walk through a serene rose garden on a warm afternoon; airy, romantic, and gently indulgent. It opens with the fresh, delicate scent of blooming roses, soft and elegant without feeling overly sharp. Almost immediately, a smooth vanilla begins to weave through the florals, adding a creamy sweetness that feels comforting - like a subtle dessert note layered beneath the petals. As it develops, a faint woody nuance emerges, grounding the composition and adding depth. This balance between floral freshness and warm sweetness gives the fragrance a cozy yet refined character, lingering like a soft, pleasant memory. Performance is strong, with impressive longevity and a noticeable yet well-balanced projection that never feels overwhelming. Overall, Roses Vanille strikes a beautiful balance between rose and gourmand elements - luxurious, feminine, and inviting. It’s particularly well-suited for cooler weather or evening wear, especially for those who enjoy the interplay of soft florals and creamy sweetness.

I'm surprised to not see Lattafa Noble Blush on the "this reminds me of" list, because to my nose they're very similar - not to a dupe level, but there's a bright, sugary, syrup-like quality to the rose in both of these, and a creamy lactonic undertone that doesn't rise to the extreme of smelling sour or buttery. Noble Blush is my absolute favorite Middle Eastern frag and one of my favorites of all time, but Roses Vanille may dethrone it as my all-time favorite rose. It's smooth, creamy, bright and sweet all at once and just incredibly well-blended. I love roses in real life, but so often in perfumery they go very musty and powdery on me in a way that feels old-fashioned and overbearing; the exception tends to be a sweet vanillic rose gourmand blend. This is not a funeral home rose. This is a light, perfectly sweetened rosewater lemon drop cocktail, and it is gorgeous. This was my first Mancera scent but definitely won't be my last.

This is such a beautiful perfume. I knew I'd love it based on the notes alone but wearing it is better than I imagined. I didn't pick up on any citrus notes, which is fine because I don't need it in this. It's pure rose water at first spray—not too intense, powdery or heady—just perfectly delicate and pink. After about an hour, it gains a sweetness to it that adds just a sprinkle of sugar to the rose water. It's not yet vanilla, but definitely sweetening. Then, at about the five-hour mark, the rose begins to take the backseat while the vanilla and cedar come to the forefront. The sillage is moderate and the longevity is 7+ hours for me. I love rose scents and this did not disappoint. I'm relatively new to the fragrance world and, of the ones I've encountered, many rose perfumes are very powdery. I don't mind powdery roses but it was refreshing to experience this one being much fresher and a little sweeter.

So just know that just become something doesn’t smell good on someone else doesn’t mean that it won’t smell good on you for me. Personally, I get the vanilla a very soft hint of (Rose) and I also get just a tiny bit of lemon coming through and it smells really good and I feel like this is a year-round fragrance for sure because it’s not too heavy but it still has like something to it and that lemon I think is what will help you carry it out through the year. It doesn’t smell cheap on my skin at all. I have many designer and niche fragrances and all I can say is discover what you like and don’t follow trends because you’ll end up getting stuff you don’t like but again don’t be afraid to try new things. ‘ cause there’s things that I’ve purchased that I don’t think I would like to end up falling in love with.! Frangrances should be an extension of yourself so do you!

I usually associate every perfume that i have with one single word. The word for this one, in my view, is INOFENSIVE. And by that i dont mean that its weak or the performance is not good. It is playful, sweet and angelic. I cant really say that i can clearly distinguish the vanilla in this; id describe it as a rose water+sugar. I cant talk much about its performance because i just received it today so i dont have a strong opinion about it yet, but i feel like it was a goooood choice! For me this is suitable to all seasons, moments of the day. So if you re looking for a girly, playful, inofensive, sweet and why not, elegant rose fragrance, give it a try! Btw - it smells 90% like Rose Gourmand from Zara, so if you want to test/smell it somewhere, you can try it there! Im pretty sure the performance is not the same one, but the smell is really close.

I really like this fragrance, delicious type of sweet rose that’s suitable for any season, any occasion, daytime, nighttime, any time. Very versatile, sweet and floral. It has the sweetness found in Xerjoff’s K’Bridge Club and at the same time you get the fresh rose found in Majouri Jour 5 or Alexandre J. Black Muscs. I do like K’Bridge Club a little better as it’s smoother without the citrus, but for the price, I’m happy with Roses Vanille. They smell so similar, main difference is the citrus and the price: paying 90€ for 120ml of Roses Vanille vs 180€ for 50ml of K’Bridge Club. Roses Vanille has better performance too. I absolutely love the minimalistic bottle design and the magnetic cap. The little twist when you close it makes my inner child happy.

I am a lover of all things rose, and all things yummy. This is the love child of a rose and a vanilla bean! Once I sprayed it on myself I couldn't get enough, I was sniffing my own wrist all day like a weirdo! Upon application it is a beautiful blend of soft roses, sweet and musky vanilla, and a tinge of something fruity. (probably the lemon, which is VERY subtle) It's sillage is pretty good, I had coworkers and family compliment me as I walked by! Once it dries down, it is very much pure vanilla, musk, and just oozing with warmth. If you really like gourmands this is an amazing perfume. It lasted on my skin 4+ hours! Overall, I love this perfume and I will continue to sniff myself because of it.

I love this smell, I don't get much lemon at all, can definitely catch on the rose but it's overpowered by the vanilla sweet scent which I appreciate as I'm not a floral perfume type of girl. I personally have only layered this perfume with more woody or oudy scents as it's already a very sweet scent, so be careful when layering with other sweet perfumes. I think it's pretty versatile and I would say can be worn all year round but I'd reach for it less during hot summer days, definitely more feminine in my opinion I have seen men wearing this fragrance and it still works!

I got the ZARA version without ever smelling this one, I just really enjoyed the ZARA scent. After using that one up, I bought this. It actually smells softer and projects less than my ZARA one did. In saying that, I found this for a good price, so the bottle being 120mL is a good thing, means I can spray a bit more when I want to be smelt more, or I can control it if I want to be a bit more subtle, or layer this with something else. I still really enjoy the femininity of this scent and how romantic it is.

Amazing fragrance. top 5 from mancera. It smells exactly like the name, rose and vanilla, and nothing else. such a simple frag you dont get bored of. very strong, lasts all day, projects well, whats not to like? This should be labeled a unisex frag tbh, not every sweet/floral frag needs to have tobacco, leather, oud, or rum/booze in it to be worn by men. this is easily wearable by most men and is a break from disgusting synthetic sweet frags for men like pdm althair or paco rabanne 1 million 10/10

This is just LOVELY... the opening with lemon and the sweet sugar underlying the fresh rose with the creamy candied almost caramelized vanilla flowing through!! Dreamy. Vibes of Gentle Fluidity Gold/Barakkat Gentle Gold with the woody vanilla- both affordable and a phenomenal performer! Even though this has been on the market for almost a decade, it's got such an innovative and inviting character! Even if you are not a floral or rose fan, this beauty will add so much to your collection!

this scent is so beautiful,, I have this in a small tester bottle and im almost out, I seriously have to save up to get the bigger bottle as this smell like pure heaven to me. the musk, the vanilla, the not too overpowering rose smell, its just such a perfect balance and every time I wear it I have my wrist up to my nose the whole time sniffing it. I will say, this scent is not very strong and does not last long on me at all, but regardless I love it. beautiful.

Wowza, this is like BIG! PINK! SUGARY! SWEET! And there is rose in there, but not heavy floral rose, but candy sweet bright pink rose with a big scoop of French vanilla ice cream and a pink frosted sugar cookie with a crown of fluffy pink frosting and sprinkles! I am blown away at how bold and sweet and candy like this is! Really love the sillage and always get compliments on this one!!💗🌹So happy to have the big bottle, I just love this beautiful scent!!

Roses dipped in honey. I thought I disliked sweet fragnances before i blind bought this. Yes its sweet but the blend is so incredible, works on my skin very well, I apply it in the morning and it lasts all day. My nose has gotten quite used to it atp and it feels super natural to wear it, I often get compliments from my girlfriends. This is very much a wintertime/autumn fragnance, I wish it worked for summer because it is so incredibly beautiful.

Beautiful daytime scent! Very feminine! At first I was stressed about it potentially smelling like Lush’s rose jam. But I was pleasantly impressed! At first it’s this beautiful rose scent with a beautiful vanilla. (I don’t really get lemon nor the musk on me..) and later on dries down to a slightly floral but creamy vanilla. The dry down reminds me of Zielinski & Rozen’s vanilla blend! Love it!! Can still smell it on my shirt, 2-3 days later..

@Scentomatography Loved your review, although a tad long it was very spot on and sounded knowledgeable and informative but also entertaining. I was trying to find the words to describe this perfume but I am lacking the knowledge about cedar and it's price point. So i was thinking that it has something dirty and musky or animalic as if sweating bodies after sex smoking a cigaret and the lady is wearing a rose and vanilla perfume. But hey.

To my nose, this is is a lite version of Arabians Tonka, but instead of beeswax, you get a sugary, humid, sticky honey scent. Think of the smell of crystalized honey with an exceptionally well-blended rose note that never becomes realistic but somehow it works. I can't seem to smell this very well, but I think that's a me thing. I am hoping it will become more potent after it matures/oxidizes. I will come back and update.

I’m very impressed with this Fragrance as it is my first MANCERA. I found it to be nicely, balanced between the rose, lemon, vanilla and musk. Beautiful opening of slight lemon and soft roses somewhat powdery, but not too much and smelled candied, but not dusty. The vanilla is quite nice in the dry down. I will definitely purchase from Mancera again. If you like roses and vanilla, this is a beautiful fragrance to try.

2 years into owning this and hoped the maceration would really amplify the scent during the winter. I wished it did... it has to remain an indoors scent for cozy days as the performs best in warmer settings. Maybe I just don’t overspray enough, my bottle is still 85% full! Maybe I just don’t want it to finish🥰 Still sweet and boozy as ever, my fiancé loves sweet fragrances on me so this is dangerous...

Absolutely gorgeous fragrance. The most Realistic rose I have ever smelled in a fragrance. Straight rose and vanilla, nothing else literally. Slightly powdery. High quality. Compliment magnet. Exceptional performance. Very inviting scent. Got this for my mother and she loves it. I could see any women 25-60+ wear this. Its damn good. Scent: 10/10 Longevity: 9/10 Projection: 9 /10 Overall: 10/10

Love this fragrance. I see lots of people saying it smells like rose and vanilla, but on me, I only really pick up on a true rose, lemon, some cedar and VERY faint vanilla - which I personally like. Everyone's skin chemistry is different, maybe worth buying a tester first if you aren't fond of rose, but I personally love this. Long lasting and definitely a feminine leaning fragrance.

I got this one as a gift; I wouldn't have considered getting it otherwise, which would have been my loss! I wore it all day today and loved it. It is so rich and full-bodied without being suffocating or too heavy. The roses are RED. The vanilla softens the overall composition without making it too gourmand. It was really enjoyable to wear. I'm genuinely impressed by it.

the lemon in the beginning combined with the rose gives it a beatifull freshness, then as the lemon fades away it kinda starts smelling like rose water which i didnt like. an hour after spraying, the vanilla comes in and it starts smelling like such an elegant sweet rose-y scent. definitely my fav rose perfume so far. i'd spray this for every occasion and weather tbh

Creamy (the creamiest I have experienced) vanilla, actual sugar that you can almost feel cracking between your teeth, and soft, feminine roses. The rose is not overpowering or heavy. I picture a bowl of vanilla custard with sugar crystals sprinkled atop and silky rose petals for garnish. This is very edible and romantic. Perfect level of sweetness. Instant love.

i blind bought this perfume and i love it!! its roses and vanilla (obviously), but that is it. no surprise notes, no evil patchouli lurking in the base notes, literally just vanilla and rose. it is the perfect balance - not too sweet, not too musky. its quite strong but not so much so that its headache inducing. i always get complimented wearing this.

This was a blind buy and I’m glad I did it. I’m not a huge fan of vanilla fragrances but the vanilla in this is classy and not thick and overwhelming. It’s definitely there, but the roses and lemon help to prevent that gagging reaction you can get from too much vanilla. It’s a perfume that cheers you up with rosey sweetness. Thoroughly recommend.

Absolutely love this perfume. My signature scent. A gourmand rose lover’s dream. Opens up with the jammy candied rose and the dry down is just as beautiful, lasts forever on clothes and layers well with a lot of different fragrances. My favorite is Roses vanille + instant crush. This is my holy grail and will always keep in my collection !

To me, this is absolutely mouthwatering and delicious rose perfume, with a warm, sweet and gourmand vanilla base. It is similar (although a little more linear) to my beloved Xerjoff K'bridge and to MFK Gentle Fluidity Gold, which I also love. It is beautifully strong, sweet and long lasting. If I could bathe in it, I would. I love it 💕 🧁🌹💛

Gorgeous blend of roses and vanilla! I don’t get the lemon note at all. She’s soft, young (not juvenile ), comforting and feminine. This perfume is very likeable and would be a safe blind buy if you like vanilla and rose note. Very underrated perfume the projection and longevity is beast mode. Love it and will repurchase again.

When I got this perfume in 2021 it was a disappointing blind buy but I left it. I now really love it, it’s my current summer go to At first it was a lemony fresh rose water perfume but now the vanilla has come out and I’m now in love Currently it smells like a sugared sweet fresh lemony rose perfume really balanced .

Awesome. By the way, who categorised this as a feminine fragrance merely because it is sweet. This is certainly unisex and being a male, I enjoy it a lot. There are so many fragrances which are being marketed as unisex that are more women leaning. We need to stop this gender differentiation in fragrances anyways.

Exactly what it claims to be: jammy rose and creamy vanilla. Very smooth and feminine. Projects beautifully. The opening reminds me a little of Delina, although the dry down is creamier and more vanilla-forward. This would be a great year round scent, suitable for any season, day or night. Longevity is great too.

I do not reach for rose fragrances generally but man this is a good one, sweet candy rose! The vanilla and powder with the rose and citrus is a very well balanced blend. Addictive even for a rose-averse person like myself. This also smells incredibly similar to bath and body work’s aromatherapy line “love” scent.

I cannot forget the day I smelled Roses Vanille. I fell in love with it very quickly. It just made my whole day. The longevity, the smell of rose, the dry down... I recently smelled my empty bottle and wanted to repurchase it so bad. Definitely planning to buy it again and always keeping it in my collection.

First ever reviewer! Tried it the day it came out.. This is my new Noir De Noir,, its amazing in both longevity and quality. I sprayed this on my arm and it lasted longer than 5 hours, even after a shower I could still smell it. Go try this guys, it's very seductive you won't be disappointed.

I thought this was gonna be too strong on the rose based on the reviews but the vanilla overpowers the rose in my opinion and this is a light fragrance I don’t understand how this is too strong and headache inducing for some people . This smells very feminine I wouldn’t consider this unisex

Turkish delight with a dusting of icing sugar and a creamy full bodied vanilla. Delicious and enveloping. Gourmand and luxurious. The vanilla keeps it young and light. No talcum powder, no spice, no old lady vibes. Perfect for Spring and Autumn. Super comforting and cosy. Absolute love.

A gorgeous gourmand rose scent that smells like a Turkish delight chocolate. It’s warm and cosy, feminine and perfect for winter. My only bug bare would be that the lasting power is not there. For an expensive perfume, I feel like I can’t smell this after two hours of spraying

The one perfume I wear day to day (and occasionally at night) that has genuinely gotten me stopped in public. Some people shit on it because it IS so simple and one demensional... but that's not always a bad thing! Sometimes straightforward and balanced is where the magic is.

I love this fragrance, it is the most perfect delicate balance of scents that I keep going back to all the time . It is the most perfect floral/vanilla balance, but after wearing it for an hour it's gone, I wish it lasted longer on my skin. I still love it.

I purchased a sample of this from MicroPerfumes. At first, it smelled exactly like Montale Intense Cafe. A beautiful jammy rose that keeps you smelling your wrists. I then dried down to a very lovely vanilla. This is a non-offensive, sweet rose scent.

My forever love, all of its copies and dupes will never equal it this perfume is beyond goated. The way there is like fifty copies of it out there goes to show you how good it is. Everytime I wear it I get an annoying massive amount of compliments.

A mouth-watering sugary rose with lots of vanilla. At first I found this cloying as others have mentioned but after reducing the amount of sprays I am addicted. Super feminine and edible without being too gourmand. An elevated version of rose jam.

Exactly the strong vanilla frag I was looking for to layer with perfumes in my collection— works with many to sweeten and change up heavy dark scents. Amazing over Mugler Alien, Tom Ford Black Orchid, Versace Crystal Noir EDP and Le Labo Cuir 28.

Generally not a fan of rose scents unless they are done to perfection like in this case...a sprinkle of lemon on a delicate soft rose...feminine...just enough sweetness from vanilla to not be cloying...with a woody drydown...so pretty. Love!

A beautiful thick rose vanilla. Smells very much like Cafe Intense, which I own (which is mostly rose and vanilla) - this is just minus the coffee note. Good performer, good smell - I’ll buy this if I find it on a decent deal.

Have you ever opened up a fresh box of rose flavored Turkish delights covered in a ton of powdered sugar? The smell that welcomes you in that very moment is what Roses Vanilla exactly smells of.
